New phone not accepting video verification

New phone Samsung galaxy s24. App is not accepting video verification. Gone through the steps loads of times, good lighting for video, mic, camera etc enabled for Monzo app, uninstalled & reinstalled app countless times, followed the link on email to log in, spoke to Monzo on the phone 4 times,
To say this has been frustrating is really putting it mildly.
I have been able to transfer all other debit and credit cards over with any issues at all whatsoever so why is Monzo the ONLY one that has been bad at this.
I have been fiddling with this for the past 90 minutes with the same instructions coming from Monzo and going round in a loop. I like using the card but…

Any advice please?

What error and at what stage?

You’ve provided very little detail for people to be able to help you.

Hi, and welcome to Monzo :monzooo: Community!

Firstly, I’d try:

  1. Log out of the Monzo App
  2. Uninstall the Monzo App
  3. :warning: IMPORTANT :warning: Restart your phone
  4. Reinstall the Monzo App
  5. Log into the Monzo App
  6. Try your action again

If your issue still isn’t fixed:

You can contact Monzo Support to see what they can do.

Do you ever read before you copy and paste all that?

Yes, actually. I read it all. They said they’ve uninstalled and re-installed the app multiple times. Never said they rebooted the device in between…

You could have just put what’s relevant not the rest of it. These posts just look like a badly coded bot and each time you post it you seem to add more crap to it.

Is it not calling the camera through the app to enable to you record?

Or does it show you the camera working but not allowing you to record?

Monzo can reset those settings/permissions I think from their side (can’t remember the more technical wording for it) for android devices.

If it allows you to record but just doesn’t upload, possibly a connection issue.

Lastly, if you don’t see the record button at all, maybe reduce your screen size settings to default/normal size if you ever adjusted it to see if that helps.

I added a shortcut to support - surely that’s helpful… Not gonna get into an argument over this though.

I will stop copy and pasting my message where it’s not relevant/needed :slightly_smiling_face: :+1:

Either way in this case, OP needs to send some screenshots of what’s happening. Another case of a user thinking people can telepathically know what’s wrong.

Just remind yourself you don’t work for monzo and aren’t paid for extra effort here.

Sometimes short/brief is better. Problems like OP raised does require a bit more digging though as it’s very unclear at what specific point are they struggling with.

It’d be easier to post just this link which has everything needed to self-diagnose/fix before contacting support: Monzo App sign-up/login/access issues - common things to try
